Does anyone use game emulators? Like I use Project 64k for online n64 games and such, and I also use ZSNES for snes games. I was just wondering if i'm the only CF member that plays roms on their PC?

I have a GBA and SNES emulator. I may look for some PSX emulators later tonite.

 

[rgbivens]

I used to but Xbox kinda took over as I'm not a huge retro game fan...

I've been thinking about going that route. Yo sky, where can I get emulators and roms at bro? Especially Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

 

[TerabyTe]

I'm pretty sure CF doesn't allow talk of emulators/ROMs on the site because they(well, the ROMs) are illegal. But I'm not completely sure, just telling you guys that this thread might get closed.

On subject, I used to use emulators/ROMs but I don't really anymore.

 

[HeSaveDave]

Uh-oh.

 

[MadeInOz]

I used to be into it fairly big as well, but not any more really.

 

[skysthelimit]

Yeah well I don't play them much either, just occasionally when my bro has the tv.

ROM's aren't illegal if you own the game. I own all the games I play on my comp. I didn't mean to start anything though TerabyTe

Trouble maker!

actually roms are not illegal. Roms are considered back-ups for games like nintendo that come in cartridges that cannot be backed up.

I can legally Play Legend of Zelda: Orcle of Seasons because i own the real thing.

I can play a bunch of PS2/N65 games as well, because i own the real thing.

It's N64 gusto. Yeah me too. I mostly play SSB, Mario Golf, and Body Harvest.

 

[gusto5]

haha...quiet you...

i tried to play a N64 rom on the cpu, but its so hard on the keyboard!!!

 

[Chrome]

i use zsnes...just got it recently.

its fun playing the games i loved when i was younger, as compared to xbox and ps2 games now. But its dishearting seeing the horrible graphics (which were awsome back then) and the even more horrible music.
but still it's nice to hark back to the days of bomberman, and mega man, and loads of mario games....and who's to forget old school final fantasy?

as for a n64 emulator, i have yet to run into one, and i doubt i can handle the keyboard controls replacing the n64 controller, it took me long enough to get used to the snes on my keyboard

 

[Felron]

Just so you know, you don't actually have to own the game. So long as you delete the ROM in 24 hours.

But really, it's more of a general rule. These games don't generate revenue anymore, so company's such as Nintendo only plop down that law for copyright purposes or the current gen.

 

[seebs]

I only download ROMs for games I actually have the cartridges for. The legality of this is probably questionable, but... It's a pretty hard case to make. The chances of a court telling me to stop are roughly nil.

 

[skysthelimit]

ah....I just started playing some of my old school Sega Master System games. Anyone remember that system? The graphics are horrific! But these games are such classics.

 

[* kittie *]

i got zsnes and nesticle.

and i got ljz for my palm...which is a emu for lots of systems. i only use the snes, nes, and gb though.

hehe...brings back memories. i miss playing my dragon warrior games.

 

[mrsir]

nope i downloaded rockmanX wich is mega man X in japanees on to my computer go to www.cherryroms.com its free!

 

[MJS]

I have a PS2 Emulator, the roms are too huge. "Online" N64 Games??? Did I just read that from you sky? Whats up with that? Or is that now possible to use an n64 rom to go online????

 

[skysthelimit]

yes online N64 games are awesome! project 64k with kaillera servers. I play super smash bros a lot with it, but most of the people leave when I own them.
